DOG LICENSE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

When do I need to license my pet?

A license is required for all dogs six months or older kept within the Township of Downe. Dog licenses are to be renewed by March 31st. You will need to present a copy of your pet’s proof of rabies vaccination and, if applicable, a certification from a veterinarian stating the dog has been neutered or spayed.

Do I have to register my dog every year?

The license must be renewed during the months of January to March each year. Otherwise, you will be charged an additional fee of $5.00 beginning April 1st.

Under state law N.J.A.C. 8:23A, the immunity of the rabies vaccine should extend at least within ten of the twelve months of the license. You cannot get a license if the rabies vaccination expires before November 1st.

How much does a license for my dog cost?

If your dog has been spayed or neutered, the license fee is $7. It will cost $10 if the dog has not been spayed or neutered. It is important that the certification of rabies vaccination and the spayed or neutered certification is presented – otherwise the license will not be processed.
